Regional: Enhancing Road Safety for Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Member Countries (Phase 2)
The proposed knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) will support and enhance road safety initiatives in the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) countries. It builds on the work of the Asian Development Bank's TA for Enhancing Road Safety for Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation Member Countries. It will facilitate regional policy dialogue, knowledge sharing, and a coordinated approach to common road safety challenges. It will also explore opportunities for standalone road safety projects in CAREC member countries that address both infrastructure and other elements of the safe system approach at scale.

| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Road crashes are a recognized problem in the CAREC region, where traffic fatality rates range from 8.7 to 18.1 per 100,000 population and the economic cost of road crashes ranges from 1%-5% of gross domestic product. Road safety was identified as an important pillar in CAREC 2030 to expand and improve trade and transport facilitation in the region. Several CAREC member countries have adopted national road safety strategies; however, they are generally under-resourced with no proper accountability. There is a need to coordinate road safety activities across the region to ensure an adequate level of safety is achieved. | ||||||
| Impact | CAREC international road corridors made safe, efficient, and attractive for all road users |
